CREATE A NEW EXPERIMENT

EXPERIMENT

This section will teach you everything you need to know 

to get started with MyGo Pro experiments. You will  learn 

how to create, save, open, and close experiments. You will  

also learn how to set up an experiment, including thermal 

profile, sample information, and optical settings. Finally 

we will show you how to run your new experiment from 

the software, and from the USB  drive  provided.

Below is the MyGo Pro home screen.  

Click New to create  

a new experiment.
